Glenfarclas 25 Year Old Whisky

TBH I've not been exposed to that many 25yo single malts, but I tried this in an old school pub in Edinburgh last week and was instantly hooked! If only I could afford this as my go to tipple...

Great dram and deep in flavour with a great mouthfeel... But at its current price; not a chance!

I paid £115 for it back in Feb 2022 from Dunkeld Whisky Box and that was more than enough...

There is a perceived wisdom that says "a minute in the glass per year in the cask" for malt whisky to breathe an find its optimum balance. But in the past I've found older Glenfarclas tended to need a little longer, around 30-35 mins for the 25yo.
But with recent batches I find it needs to be left a good deal longer still. In fact, ideally I would leave it until they find they aren't selling any and bring the bloody price back down to where it used to be!

Received a free sample dram with my latest order ( thanks whiskysanta !) . Was expecting so much but this under delivered. Pleasant enough flavour but really lacking in depth and body . Could be so much better at 48% and NCF. Enjoyable enough as a freebie but very glad I hadn't just dropped over 200 quid on a full bottle .

Incredible finish! Neat mixed with your own saliva and it is perfect!

So tell me how come the price increased from £90 from where I cannot say, but in the UK, where I bought some a year or so ago, to >£200 now?
Fabulous whisky though I should add.

…It’s also the only 25 year old scotch I’ve tasted, but I do love it, and think it’s worth the price on those rare occasions it’s in-stock at my local Total Wine store.

Lovely smooth/sweet taste with a great backbone. A great winter/cold weather drink.

A nice dram but the 21 is better value . Although good , I was expecting more - the 21 was a big step up from the 15 but the 25 just seemed like it had taken a slightly different path and ended up somewhere similar , more expensive but not necessarily better

I'm an islay peat freak.. but I loved this.. the last few drams were just beautiful..
Got mine for 125 three months ago so don't get the huge hike

Lovely whisky though..
Try the 15 or 105 for better value
